Betsy B

I am a 40-something, blissfully married mom. I work from home as a publisher/editor and my brilliant husband is a software engineer. Between us, we have six children!

Of course, like practically everyone who ever got an English degree, someday I want to write fiction. In the meantime, I just read LOTS of it. ♥ more »

    When do you find time to read? I am always amazed how quickly you read and what a prolific reader you are!

    Oh Betsy I love that time period too! The show really got me hooked, and now I'm a bit obsessed! I found the Richard Rex book to be a really smooth read--not dry at all! :)

    Hello... Just stopped by to see what you were up to. I've added quite a few books too. I did read a YA book that I LOVED.... EASY read, I finished in one day... EXCELLENT book though.... "FEVER 1793".... Highly recommend for an easy afternoon, found in the young adult section. I read a few of these YA books and save the best for my daughter. I read SPEAK also.... By the same author as FEVER, then I rented the movie.... Also, a GREAT read and movie!

    I saw the Other Boelyne Girl... LOVED IT!!!!!

    Hi Betsy,

    You have an interesting looking shelf. I am an older mom as well. I had my first a month before I turned 38 and he is now 3 1/2. Curious which of your child you applied "Raising a spirited child".

    i have a lot of favorite Berg books. Talk Before Sleep, Range of Motion, Open House, What We Keep Never Change and the 3 'Katie' books, Joy School, Durable Goods and True to Form. The only other book I didn't care for was Until the Real Thing Comes Along.

    The Tea Rose and The Winter Rose are 2 of my recent faves. If you like them you might want to look up Barbara Taylor Bradford's A Woman of Substance, it's an oldie but a goodie.

    Oops...and yes, I have lived in the same area in northcentral IN my entire life. I even went to college in town! I have a feeling that the only way I'll ever live anywhere else is if one day one of my kids moves away and have reason to go there.

    We do have quite a few books in common and I see you have several of my favorite books of all time: The Wise Woman, Roots, and GWTW! It's nice to meet someone who enjoys historical fiction as much as I do.

    I used shelfari's import feature to put all the books I've read the last few years I had listed in a tab delimited file directly into their system. Took about 5 minutes! :D

    Hey, this could be fun! Yes, WORLD WITHOUT END by Ken Follett takes place in Kingsbridge, two centuries later. It is hard to keep the characters separate. They refer back to Phillip, etc. So far, so good. I'm only on pg 230.
